I Am Just A Lover Poem by Mohammad Younus

I am a lover;
Just a lover, and don't ask me:
What's the sense in loving God...
...who has no corporeal body.

I've never come to know it
For myself;
Why do I love God...
Whom I do not see...
...with my soft fleshy eyes;
It is He who inspires me...
...to love him exclusively...
...ignoring every other...
...as he shows up his beauty...
...in my creation and the universe.

I am a lover;
Just a lover on my path...
...of love and fighting...
...against my nafs;
That commands and...
...persuades me all the way...
...to do evil;
Beyond measure...
And beyond
Forgiving by God.

As long as nafs commands...
...to follow the path of evil...
...and we take up his dictation...
...no peace and contentment...
...is any way possible.

I am a lover;
I love to be a puppet...
...in the hands of God;
Because I know...
...submission is so sweet...
...for His Servant.
